There's a reason Fiddler on the Roof has been so successful worldwide since 1964. We may not be able to articulate it, but this documentary brings us the backstory, and gives us the insights and history - thankfully by and with many of the people who brought it to the stage and screen. Be ready to laugh, to cry, to feel your heart soar, and to better understand the story you thought you knew so well. Then have the movie, the soundtrack, the tickets to allow you to experience it again, soon, in your favorite venue (or media). You'll love it even more after watching this documentary, and you'll love this documentary.

I was captivated by the accounts of how Fiddler on the Roof came about. The film features the original writers of the music and lyrics. It tells the back story of the musical, which holds the record for the longest running play On Broadway. They claim that since"Fiddler" came out in the'60's it has been shown somewhere in the world every single day since. Also,great music

Since its debut on September 22, 1964, Fiddler on the Roof has been performed every day somewhere in the world. I saw it when I was four years old at the Aire Crown Theatre in Chicago. I remember many details from that night: my black patent leather Mary Jane shoes and white ruffled party socks; my little legs being too short for my knees to bend over the plush theatre seat; the nuns sat in the row in front of us; the fancy crowd of adults; the Playbill, which boosted ads for cars and perfume, that my father sat and explained to me as I poured over it in awe. It was a magical night. It was one of the first times I learned about what life was like for my ancestral family back in a shtetl, a small Jewish ghetto town, in Eastern Europe in the Pale of Settlement. I realized that night that I wanted to be a theatre actress, which I was for many years. Overall, I was bowled over by the power and joy of the music, humor, sets, and acting of the production that communicated with startling depth a deep humanity, helmed by the incomparable Zero Mostel as Tevye - the dairyfarmer with five daughters, three of "marriageable" age with minds and hearts of their own, and a strong wife, Golda - who struggles with poverty, assimilation, the changing climate of his Russian village as Jews are forced off their land by pogroms, faith, and tradition. Fiddler on the Roof is based on a series of stories by Sholem Aleichem that he wrote in Yiddish between 1894 and 1914 about Jewish life in Imperial Russia at the turn of the 20th century. In Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles, director Max Lewkowicz tells the story of the origins of the Fiddler musical, composed by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins, and scripted for film by Joseph Stein. In this documentary, we learn, among other things, that Jewish actor Zero Mostel fought with Robbins, whom he resented because Robbins had testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee. The documentary details some of the universal appeal of the story, including the love for Fiddler from people in Japan and Thailand and we are shown portions of some of their productions, as well as a production done by African American youth, and as a special treat, The Temptations sing, "If I Were a Rich Man." The image for The Fiddler on the Roof was inspired by the paintings of Marc Chagall. I wholeheartedly recommend this movie!

These theater types, who act as if they're our moral betters must ALWAYS interject their nonsensical political hyperbole whichever way they turn, in order to force the square pegs into round holes with a maul, if need be; spitting their nonsense as if their opinion was the only 'right' one. The oblivious attitude by these malcontents barely seems competent enough to realize how very blessed they are in the minuscule moment that finds them- most in the world have no clue who they are, much less hold any value to their opinion. Stop trying to ruin everything beloved in the world, by injecting this insane trope comparing every possible situation into some abomination where you actually have the sheer audacity to compare the political atrocities surrounding FOTR to current times. These incompetents need to do some actual research into the horrific events surrounding this beautiful play and what these people survived- the atrocities, learn some humility, recite your lines that you aren't even competent enough to conceptualize in your feeble brain, and thank the good lord above that you're able to collect a paycheck because the people you're alienating are eventually going to stop paying to see you blather on, and you'll have to look in your mirror and see why no one loves you as much as you love you. Inserting the ridiculous pink hat parades as some commentary on societal woes, as a furthering of your insane agenda is a fool's errand- step outside your small echo chamber and realize that your audience is more than the sun of your dinner party attendants and stop setting fire to everything. I was looking forward to more of the background of this wonderfully crafted piece and instead I'm subjected to 70% political agenda and 30% history. Knock. It. Off.

This would have been better as an 60-minute documentary. They unfortunately took a wonderful play and movie and turned it into something that profoundly affected audiences in all sorts of social and political ways. Yeah, sure. It obviously wasn't enough to focus on how wonderful and entertaining the plays and movie were, and that could have easily been done in 60 minutes. Instead, it was turned into a sociology/political project where talking heads were interpreting the story in ways that satisfied their need to see and believe what they wanted to see and believe. To life . . . To "Fiddler on the Roof" . . . To a most touching and funny play and movie . . . To all of those individuals who created such a masterpiece in all the theatres and on all the stages.

: I found this documentary after watching Fiddler On The Roof today. I have loved the film all of my life. It was one film that was repeated many times in my parent's house and I have watched it at least 60 times. When I saw the description of this documentary I was very interested in learning more about how tge story came to be so beloved. First as a Broadway production, then as the film. It is one of the most beloved musicals in history and the documentary covers the origin of the story. Tge story of Tevye the milkman by Sholem Aleichem was the foundation that the musical was born. It is a story of a Jewish village in Russia called Anatevka, but the story's themes of tradition, family, and struggle resonate across cultures. The documentary focuses on the fact that Fiddler was huge in Japan, because their society is rooted in tradition. There are interviews with the creators of the musical and some of the cast members from 1964 until today. They speak about some of tge difficulties and changes that were made to.make the play one of tge most successful Broadway productions ever. It doesn't spend much.time on the 1971 film that stars Topol as Tevye. This is my favorite part of the documentary. I am more a fan of the film than the stage play. To me the film is the definitive version and Topol is by far the best Tevye. There are some brief clips of Topol talking about filming that are very poignant. The makers of this documentary obviously love this story and feel that it resonated for decades after it's introduction in the 60's. They make tge point that tge themes are relevant today. And I don't disagree. But then toward the last 5 minutes the filmmakers decided to do something that ruins the documentary for me. They insert politics itied into the film. They start by talking about the parallels of the Jews in Anatevka that suffered Russian pogroms and were forced to leave their homes and just about every pet left wing cause today is just pathetic!!! What's worse is they try to compare our current political situation with the injustices in the Holocaust and infer that people that have different political ideas are somehow like the oppressors of the past . It's insulting that a documentary celebrates the universal themes of Fiddler On The Roof that cross cultural and national lines but in the end make it about their preferred political agenda. I was thoroughly enjoying this film until the not so subtle political agenda of the filmmakers was introduced literally 5 minutes before the thing ended. They have a right to their opinion but to dump it like that suddenly was cheap and ruined my enjoyment of the documentary. It is pathetic that a loving documentary about a beloved human story would ultimately be just a way to make it all about politics!!! Grade: C-
